Tequila Sunset, April 28

Published 4:00 am, Thursday, April 28, 2011

The San Francisco Botanical Society kicks off a new series of events with a little help from some mariachis, Mexican chocolate - and don't forget the Tequila. The after-hours series is meant to highlight specific areas of the Botanical Garden's plant collection in a cultural context. Tonight's inaugural showcase includes a tasting of Semental Tequila; curators will discuss the agave and succulent collection in the Botanical Garden, and distillers will make the connection between blue agave and the making of Tequila. Future events will include an all-Chilean evening and a showcase of the Botanical Garden's magnificent magnolias.
